As more data from around the world emerges and new generations of workers seek to live and do well at once, investments in young children are slowly making it into decisions about where to work and what to buy. This is progress. Investing in young children makes good business sense. The business leaders are in need of motivations to move towards this aspect.
First, investing in young children is good for the brand.Edelman’s annual global good purpose study has found that customers increasingly expect leading corporations to stand for more than profits. In the last round of the survey, five of the top six social causes signaled by customers as important had a direct impact on young children’s development.When consumers associate a brand with support for young children, it can help a company stand out from the business competition.
Second, investing in employees’ young children is good for productivity and keeping the talent. Research in the United States by the Families and Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management found that when offered family friendly, flexible work arrangements, employees were more engaged in their work and likely to stay with their employer. Flexible working arrangements also led to less home interference with work.
Third, investing in young children is good for workforce development. Frequently, business leaders emphasize education as the focus of their social responsibility. Brain researchers at Harvard University have found early childhood experiences—well before children reach school age—have a lifelong effect on the development of skills. Skills are in increasing demand in the 21st century workforce such as creative problem solving and the ability to work in teams.
Fourth, investing in young children is good for the competition in the long run. Studies in the United States have found that parent support and pre-school programs have achieved returns of $4 to $9 per $1 invested, through increased earnings and reductions in crime and welfare spending. More recently, findings from Jamaica found that consistent parent support visits to families with babies and children of two or three years old led to higher IQs, fewer signs of despair, less involvement in fights and a 25% increase in income 20 years after the program ended.
The findings from Jamaica indicate that________.
选项
A、investment in young children brings down the welfare expense
B、pre-school programs reap big returns by way of increasing income
C、continuous parent support visits cause 25% decrease in signs of disappointment
D、fixed parent support visits lead to better intellectual and spiritual development
答案
D
解析
本题考查牙买加的研究结果。原文第五段末句提到,最近,牙买加的研究发现,稳定的家长支援访问有婴儿和两三岁儿童的家庭,在这个项目结束20年后,被访问家庭的儿童倾向于高智商,较少的绝望迹象,较少地参与打架斗殴,收入增加25%。由此可推知,D“固定的家长支援访问有助于较好的智力和精神发展”是对此句的概括,故答案为D。A“幼儿投资降低了福利支出”和B“学前项目通过增加收入取得了巨额回报”均是美国的研究结果,故排除;C“持续的家庭支援访问使得失望的迹象降低了25%”是对第五段末句数据信息25%的张冠李戴。原文只提到失望的迹象变少,没有具体的数据信息,25%指的是收入增加的比例,故排除。
